Question 1

What is middleware scripting?

Middleware scripting is server-side programming that runs between the web server and a database. It processes user input, handles requests, performs logic, and generates dynamic web pages before sending them back to the browser. It acts as the "middle layer" between the front-end and back-end systems.

Question 2

What is the difference between SSH and FTP and why do we use each?

SSH (Secure Shell) is used to remotely access and control a server through a command-line interface. It allows us to run commands, manage files, and configure the server securely.

FTP (File Transfer Protocol), or secure versions like SFTP, is used specifically to transfer files between a local computer and a remote server. We use FTP tools like WinSCP to upload and manage website files.
